Option Type

A call or put contract is a type of financial instrument that allows an individual to buy or sell an asset at a specified price within a certain time period.

These contracts are commonly used in the stock market to hedge against potential losses or to speculate on future price movements. Understanding the differences between call and put contracts is crucial for making informed investment decisions. Let's dive deeper into the world of options trading.
